Mr. Hathaway,
You contacted me a few minutes ago and asked that I email you, related to a letter sent to property owners about a
possible LUP (Land Use Plan) amendment between Shackleford and 1-430, north of 36th Street. This possible change of
the Land Use Plan would be from Mixed Office Commercial (MOC) or Service Trades District (STD) to Mixed Use (MX).
There is no change in the zoning proposed. If your client owns property in the above described area than he should have
received a letter several weeks ago about this possible change.
If you can provide me with the address or legal I can, hopefully, let you know if your client's property is within the possible
change area. No action has been taken to date and none is expected until later this summer at the earliest. I have
attached the definitions of the Land Use Categories for your convenience.

I am writing as a follow up to our prior telephone conversation on behalf of our firm's client,
Dyke Industries, in response to your letter of April 9, 2012 in which you described a proposed
change in the City's Future Land Use Plan for the subject property from the I to the LI
classification.
Dyke Industries, or its assigns, is the current owner of the property known as 6200 Sears. It is
our understanding that this change in the Land Use Plan would make it more difficult, if not
impossible to rezone the subject property from its present zoning classification of 1-2 to the 1-3
classification.
The imposition of the proposed change might never pose a problem for the ownership but it
could pose a problem in the event that it was necessary or desirable in the future to request 1-3
zoning in an area which has been used continuously for various forms of industrial use for well
over 45 years. While there are no current plans to request a rezoning to the 1-3 classification,
the ownership is at a loss to understand the rationale behind this proposal and therefore
opposes the change.
I recognize that this letter has missed the comments deadline of May 4 but will appreciate it if it
can be included in the staff's thinking about this proposed change.
Sincerely,
,L_,�
